INSTALL ELECTRICAL
(DUCTED AND NON-DUCTED HOODS)
WARNING: Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accor-
dance with all applicable codes and standards. This range hood must be
properly grounded. Turn off electrical power at service entrance before wir-
ing.
1. Plan where the hood will be located above the cook top. Refer to the “INSTALL
MOUNTING BRACKET” section for hood mounting height options.
2. Install a standard 2” x 4” wall outlet box and 3-blade 125 volt, 15 Amp grounded
receptacle.
3. Mount the 18” to 22” below the bottom of the hood.
4. Locate the receptacle within the boundary shown and off center of the ductwork
(to allow for power cord plug and flue clearance).
INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKET
(DUCTED AND NON-DUCTED HOODS)
1. Construct wood wall framing that is flush with interior surface of wall studs.
Make sure:
a) the framing is centered over installation location.
b) the height of the framing will allow the mounting bracket to be secured to
the framing within the dimensions shown.
2. After wall surface is finished, secure mounting bracket to framing using dimen-
sions shown.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
(DUCTED HOODS ONLY)
!
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the
hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best
performance with longer duct runs.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sec-
tions.

Note a - Minimum hood distance above cook top must not be less than 24”.
A maximum 30” above cook top is highly recommended for best capture of cooking
impurities.
Distances over 30” are at the installers discretion; and if ceiling height and flue length
permit.
Note b - a 10-foot high celing requires use of an optional flue extension, available
from your local dealer.
